• NMT 212: Basic Nanofabrication Processes

  3.00 Credits

  Luzerne County Community College

  
  This course will cover in detail the thermal processing necessary for semiconductor fabrication. Growth and annealing processes, which utilize horizontal and vertical furnaces, will be examined as well as rapid thermal annealing. This course will cover single crystal growth (Czochralski, float-zone) as well as wafer slicing, etching, polishing, epitaxial growth, and substrate (bulk or epi) specifications. The course will address the impact of thermal processing and thermal processing history on defects, gettering, impurities and overall device properties. The student will grow and measure gate and field oxides, implant and activate source anti-drain regions, and evaluate thermal budget requirements using state-of-the-art tools.

• NMT 213: Thin Films in Nanofabrication

  3.00 Credits

  Luzerne County Community College

  
  The basics of thin films including growth, structure, mechanical properties, electrical properties, deposition equipment will be examined in the first part of this course. This will include atmospheric, low pressure, and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition and sputtering, thermal evaporation, and beam evaporation physical vapor deposition. Materials to be considered will include dielectrics (nitride, oxide), polysilicon (doped and undoped), and metals (aluminum, tungsten, copper, adhesion promoters, diffusion barriers) The second part of the course will focus on etching processes and will emphasize reactive ion etching (single water, batch), high-ion-density reactors (TCP, helicon, ECR, MERIE) and ion beam etching. Student will receive hands-on experience in depositing and etching dielectric, semiconductor, and metal materials using state-of-the-art tools.

• NMT 214: Lithography for Nanofabrication

  3.00 Credits

  Luzerne County Community College

  
  This course will cover all aspects of lithography from design and mask fabrication to pattern transfer and inspection. The course is divided into three major sections. The first section describes the lithographic process from substrate preparation to exposure. Most of the emphasis will be on understanding the nature and behavior of photoresist materials. The second section examines the process from development through inspection (both before and after pattern transfer). This section will introduce optical masks, aligners, steppers and scanners. In addition, CD control and profile control of photoresists will be investigated. The last section will discuss advanced lithographic techniques such as e-beam, X-ray, EUV, and ion beam lithography.
